Abstract:

These data were collected as part of a project funded by the Joint Fire Science Program (Grant 15-1-04-9). The objective of the project was to identify what physical conditions have the greatest influence on the generation of embers (also known as firebrands). The efforts consisted of experiments at both laboratory (i.e., branch-scale) and outdoor (i.e., tree-scale) studies. This data publication contains the data collected for the former study which took place from 2015-2019. This includes all screening study videos, detailed information on testing conditions and other notes for each test, as well as time to generation data and the associated experimental conditions. Additionally, the R code used to run the associated factorial analysis, data files used to run that code, and the MATLAB scripts used to plot the results are provided.
